[quote user="Romy the Cat"] When I have my old transformer 11:1 then I had the midbass horns calibrated so perfectly that you can tune a large symphonic orchestra by it sound. It was spectacularly stop-on setting with any type of music if played it n...

John, I disagree.
No one deny the importance of harmonics and you are right saying that “If a speaker does not reproduce the harmonics correctly, then the tone is not reproduced correctly.” However you are talking about a complete speaker, not...

[quote user="haralanov"]Are there any signs for worsened transient response of your midbass channel due to the sharp electrical filtering?[/quote]Nothing that I note. The transient response of your midbass channel is a bit tricky thing as the way how...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] To my huge surprise and pleasure my midbass horn has absolutely no honk. I heard bass honk in ANY, even the best midbass horns that I heard (BTW, some honk does not bothers me and I even consider it desirable). [/quote] T...

Since I got my stable and good quality electricity back I recalibrated my bass horn. Again, I set it up with very precisely and absolutely without any measurements, juts by ear, to sound exactly how I want it to sound. This is in a way my crown jewel...

Listening my new midbass horn, just left channel for now, I would like to share my observation so far about sonic result of the project. Generally the sonic result of the project have exceed my expectations, however not always in the directions ...

I initially meant to put this post into my midbass thread (linked above) but then I decided that the subjects is self-important and it worth to separate in standalone thread. In fact this idea was formulated to months ago but I was holding to po...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] Still, I did not mention the most important thing about my new midbass horn. This most important and the most astonishing new characteristic of Sound I did not pursue and I got it purely accidently. I did not talk ab...

[quote user="RF at Ona"] Romy,I might have overlooked something on your site but I understand that your ULF amp is driven directly by the preamp line stage. If that is the case, you may want to consider an old technique for integrating subwoofers...

Similar to the famous sexist tail that women can be only ether pretty or smart the midbass horns unfortunately behave in the very same way: they can be only nicely placed in a room or they can sound good. You want the horn to place in a specific ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I have to admit that since the torch of sane sounding horn-loaded loudspeakers nowadays in my hands (among the outspoken people with web presences) I feel sort of an obligation to comment about new interesting species ...

[quote user="haralanov"] Some time ago I also thought my upper bass channel is flawlessly integrated, but when I added another, symmetrically arranged UB driver (over my WR driver), I quickly understood the new configuration is MUCH more expressive a...

I want to share what I feel is a good application of an injection channel, as introduced by Romy. But this is different and also useful and i can tell you it works and very well. Of course, I do not recommend to use this application in the same exact...

Mani, please keep us posted on your impressions of the bass and midbass. They look wonderful! Are they both in the corners of the room ? Could you please give room dimensions with seating position indicated? I would be very interested in hearing mor...

I had quite a number emails from different people who picked 515G or AK15X drivers and would like to build a midbass horn from 60-80Hz to ~500Hz. I played a lot with different 515 (B, E, D, A) and with different AK15X but I never went for the right h...

Neil, I hadn't thought of it that way-- it would save money, only have to run one wire to each midbass too! You're too funny! The link Romy posted earlier: http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/vsac20082/vsac.html shows the throat.&...

I was thinking about a space-economical way to arm playback with midbass 50Hz horn. It is not that I am into it myself but conceptually I was wondering how to put all of necessarily things within a minimum compromise in minimum footprint. I came up w...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"]I would think they might also compete with the mid-bass horns. The Auras can run up to 80, maybe 90Hz (you're probably going to say "60Hz max!!!"); would you really need to use the line arrays in the presence of a pair...

I was thinking and fantasizing about finishing of my midbass horn. My first idea was to paint it internally with the same color as my cathedral room. Perhaps a lighter grade of paint in the end as the horn goes dark. As the only mouths of the horns w...

For me personally, midbass is the most important frequency range when it comes to sound reproduction. I believe you will be on the right track to focus on this range because so often it is overlooked and treated with superficial attention, as a "...

I got this new midbass horn to replace the Edgar 80Hz straight horn. It is made by Funktion-One and they claim it plays down to 90hz. I could not get it to play below 120Hz and I am trying to figure out why.Pictures are:mouth measurements with no fil...

Some of you
have already seen my old posts about the 2 pair of concrete midbass horn a
friend and I built a few years ago.
Now I just
wanted to share what has happened to those beauties since the last po...

This is very interesting, I was thinking of such an option given the existence of a basement, (I do not have that luxury, but I have a concrete slab).
The idea that the driver is actually closer to the...

Hello, Ulf.
Interesting. The TAD1201H is 12-incher with resonant frequency of 50Hz. It has relatively low resonant frequency for 100Hz Tractrix midbass but you most like used 10” thought and consequentially shorter horn. The shorter horns beam...

We are closing our new house in 2 weeks and while packing

I am debating with myself about going with sub 100Hz woofer tower as I
